Nor is it easy to say what other weapon a Minister would find so easy to his hand. Real wit is a betterdefence ,but every states man cannot have real wit, and since the days of Sir Robert Peel it has been rather a scarce quality among officials. His followers were not witty, though there is humour in Mr. Gladstone, and a sort of sharpness in the Duke of Newcastle. Im passibility is an equally good defence, but it does not tell much in debate except when exhibited by a very good man indeed, and officials want a form of retort which the country can read rent dry. Some weapon they must use to keep off the borLs, and the people with private intensts and the men with crotchets, at;cl the members of the Darby Griffith stamp who oth erw i se would worry them to death, and moat of whom when smashed w:tA an argument say, " The right honourable gentleman lies stated precisely what I wanted to elicit," and sit down as radiant as if they had beta applauded. A Minister to be useful must be dan gerous, and if he can only be so by being imperti nent he cannot be said to be.. very blameable. A porcupine is not a nice beast, but still one does not condemn his use of his quills as in any way im moral, and if members will tease people like Sir Charles Wood or Mr. Layard, why, they know what to expect.

It is understood that the subordinate hes no Aare in the deliberations of his chief, and can in no degree affect the measures taken, if he happens to differ from that chief. In spite of this, it is also understood that he defends tl - c acts of his chief in the branch of the Lislature in which he sits. This function in itself 'Ls hard enough. It not pleasant for a man to have to prove that to be wise wr.ich he himself ihinks to be foolish, or to deliver a eulogium upon a policy which in his own heart he is exe crating. But this resignation of Mr. Lowa esta blishes a precedent which will add very seriously to the liabilities of the luckless subordinate. He must now not only be advocate, but whipping-boy. It a blunder is made in the officer, he must go out. His chief, who has made the blunder, may remain in the serene heights of the aristocratic Empyrean, despis• ing the convulsions which agitate the surface of popular opinion or of representative assemblies. But the subordinate, whose share in the policy im pugned has at most been consultative, must suffer for measures which have not proceeded from his authority, and in which (as in the present case) he may possibly not concur. Such a system has no doubt its convenience. It combines the gratification of parliamentary indignation with the permanence of responsibh3 officials. Under-Secretaries and Vice- Presidents may be looked upon for the future as a species of nine-pins, set up for the Opposition to bowl down. If the Opposition carry a censure, the Under-Secretary resigns. If tLey fail in it, he remains. It is a perfectly harmless pastime. It amuses them, and it does not hurt the Cabinet. The Ministers who are really responsible for what has been done repose in undisturbed com placency upon the comfortable benches of the House of Lords, and content themselves with pass ing from time to time a eulogium upon the subor dinate who has been bowled over. But there is no chauge in Cabinet offices; for Cabinet Ministers who are in the House of Lords are beings of too oTicE -A WOMAN AGAINST THE WORLD.

This Company has for its purpose the transaction of the important and remunerative business of Fire Insur axe, and that only, to the exclusion of other branches of busi ness not unusually associated with it, under the same direc tion, and operating on one and the same capital. The Directors are satisfied that the scope for the business of fire insurance presented by this countr y and its dependencies, is, as a commer cial s p eculation, deserving of paramount attention; and, the contract being one terminable annuallyby , the profits or loss ar isin g determine in like manner, year year, and exhibit at once a company's financial position and its resources. While the partial remission of the fire insurance duty now in the contemplation of Government, and applicable only to the insurance of stock-in-trade, will afford a com paratively limited relief from the onerous oppression, for every the Di rec tors have resolved to al l o w u p on p a y ment policy, and afterwards at each renewal, an immediate draw back, which, in many instances, will amount to a total ex • tinction of the entire duty of three shillings per cent. To the public at large, and to the greater proportion of the manufacturing and met cantile community, this arrange ment will prove a highly acceptable a d v antage. The draw back allowed by a few of the, older offices by way of per tentage on premiums, at intervals of years, is of im portance only to those who are rated at premiums ranging chiefly from one guinea per cent. upwards, and is partici pated in only by those who may have premiums to be re newed at the period of the making of these returns ; whereas by the principle adopted by this Company, the owners of the classes of risk of the more ordinary occurrence, are they who will be the more substantially and at the same time promptly benefited. The concession to be thus made to the publio will cere tainly be the means not only of increasing in their respec tive amounts insurances now existing, but of multiplying to a very large extent the number of insurance contracts in this country and its colonial connections. The insurable property in this kingdom alone, includingthe its enormous and increasing imp ortations arising from wise interchange of tariffs, is believed to approx imate to £5,000,060,000, whereas 300,000,000 only is insured ; thus leaving nearly three-fourths of the insurable amount altogether unprotected from loss. It would be difficult to find any class of investments which has yielded such large profits as the shares of well-con ducted ire offices. The shares of the older offices have in creased in value immensely, being, in one case, at a pre mium of about 1,300, and in another of nearl 2,00 per cent. on the sums origi nall y p aid up. The increased value of the shares of offices established within the last 20 years tends at from 80 to 200 per cent. s It is under these circumstances, and considering the ime mense field presented for operations to come, that the direc tors have taken advantage of so favourable an opportunity to offer to the public the benefits of the principle of business now adopted by them; a nd they have every reason believe that by its special feature and the public support which that must necessarily invite the undertaking will speedily be productive of the best monetary results. The executive will be entrusted to officers of tried experi ence in the business of fire insurance, and the directors have a l rea dy matured arran g ements for the immediate establish ment of five hundred agencies. The directors desire to give the most unqualified assur ance to the public thet teething of the nature of frivolous bjectione to a prompt end liberal settlement of claims for compeneation will ever be entertained or countenanced by them. F or me a application for shares may be had at the offices or of the Brokers, Bankers , or Solicitors. of the ComeallY, In the even t ot no allotment being made, the deposit will be returned in full.

This Company is est blished in order to afford to the agents and connections of the Albert Life Assurance Company, founded in 1838, an opportunity to combine the transaction of Fire and Marine Insurance with that of Life Assurance. The Albert Life Assurance Company has a share capital of £500,000 fully subscribed, and has an income from premiums of upwards of X 250,000 per annum, and during the last three years has issued new policies of assurance to the amount of £2,573,979, the premiums upon which amount to 2108,558. FIRE DBPARTMENT. The Agents, Policyholders, and Sits; eholders of the Albert Lite Company necessaily form a connectilnsurance of the most influential character fo r a Fire and Marine Com pany. The annual increase in the wealth of the country and in that desol iption of property known as " Insurable Property," has suggested the formation of several new Fire Insurance Offices, but the Directors of this Company believe that in very few instances has a Fire Company started with the same chances of success as attend the introduction of this. The Company will have the advantage of the co-operation of a trained and periectly organised system of agents, and the Directors submit, therefore, th t there there is a certainty of securing almost at once a ,arge and profitable business. The Chancellor of the Exchequer having intimated his in tention to reduce the duty one-half on stuck in trade, a large additional numbs r of fire insurances will, no doubt, be effected by persons who have hitherto been deterred from insuring for the full value of tneir stook by reason of the heavy duty.

MARINE DEPARTMENT. Notwithstanding the recent establishment of several ma rine insurance companies, and the extensive business they have acquired, there is .mple r om for the safe and profitable employment of capital in tnis direction. The vast increase in ttie shipping iiljerest of the United Kingdom, together with the growing felling in favour of the security afforded by Joint Stce& Companies as compared with private Underwriters, point to the opening which exists for this department of the ompany's operations.

But Lord Granville, sitting in the House of Lords, treats offences solemnly charged upon him in the Journals of the House of Commons as idle scolding. He is the guardian of his own reputation. There is no doubt that the doctrine of vicarious resigna- tion which he is now introducing has its con veniences. It is a marvellous device for two-anti- ing the official tenacity of a censured Minister with the doctrine of Parliamentary responsibility. THE "EXAMINER" ON THE PROBABLE RESULT OF THE DANO-GERMAN WAR.—Oa Wednesday the representatives of all the Powers, parties to the Treaty of 1852, met by appointment at Downing street, the Envoy chosen by the Federal Diet alone being absent. Whereupon, the representatives of Prussia and Austria refusing to act, a resolution was taken to adjourn till Monday next. Should Baron von Beust choose to assert the dignity of his clients still further, by again omitting to ap pear, we should not be at all surprised if a new pretext were devised for delay in commencing de liberations. Europe has stupidly looked on for four months, during which the occupation and conquest of the Duchies has been completed by overwhelming force. Herr von Bismark now de clares, in a circular despatch addressed to the repre sentatives of Prussia at foreign Courts, and ostentatiously published the day after the fall of Dybbol, that Prussia considers the Treaty of 1852 as absolutely at an end; end that its terms are wholly inadmissible as the groundwork or future negotiations. There was only wanting this last touch to complete the story of insolent and perfidious aggression. Before crossing the Eider, and long ~ .ttor its frontier banks had ban passed by the invadrrs, Austria. and Prussia veheni.ntly aseerted hit ail they wanted to Lilkiree the terms of that European compact. Tnere were some of us who dis'oelievccl these assurances, and who said so at the time. Diplomacy put ou its spectacles and conned over and over again the terms of these assurances, in which, with its usual sagacity, it professed to be much comforted. Well, where are these pledges now P Unhappy Denmark herself does not any longer think them worth insisting on. She has naturally lost all faith in promises and moral guarantees and so forth. Her heart is still right within her, and she clings with undying con stancy to the eventual vindication of right and justice. But she has been maimed and broken so terribly by overwhelming might, and she feels her self to have been so deserted by those who might, --- _ _ if they would, have served her without striking a blow, that it is no marvel if she looks without hope or trust to the results of diplomatic cogitations. Her eyes are fixed elsewhere;and on the clay when a new map of I:Uric...German frontiers shall be settled and initialled by the Great Powers, as a peaceful adjustment of the present difficulty, the beginning will have bcen made of that national movement which holds out the only real hope of compensation to the Danes for their loss of territory on the Eider. Sooner or later the various regiona - peopled by the Scandinavian race were certain te,be united under one Government; and from the nature of the case that government must be one essentially popular.;;; The believers in the theory of dynasties as opposed to that of nationalities, ought to have striven to preserve the severalty of Denmark as an ancient kingdom. But blindness has fallen upon them ; and looking at the course of recent events, and the darkness of the future, we own that we see no probability of their being able to retrieve their signal error. THE " SPECTATOR" ON IMPERTINENCE AS A PARLIAMENTARY WEAPJN.-oi, rEpi neXpifprov, I he knot of young men of forty or thereabouts whom Lord Palmerston, in default of a following, puts into office and protects as if they belonged to him, have amidst many differences ono quality in com mon. They all know the value of insolence as a weapon in political warfare—all affect, even when personally simple people, the hauteur which lies very near the root of the character of their chief. All entertain the conviction that the ability to snub can be made a social breastplate, and that an off hand address compounded of quickness and imper tinence suggests in its victims a sense of reserved power abiding in the assailant. When the house sneers at Mr. Layard, be tells members to answer instead of interrupting him, and keep silence till ho has done. When an inconvenient question is asked of Mr. Cowper, he taunts the house with its inabi lity to control expenditure, or build anything which is not ugly, and bids his opponents to let him alone, for the department will go on a great deal better unassisted than if they persist in interfering. Mr. Lowe's regular practice when assailed was to de- Ecribe his assailant as a rather unscrupulous fool, leading a knot of persons who either knew nothing about the matter or had a sinister motive in press ing their own view. There is no doubt a certain effectiveness in this style, as well as a certain justi fication for employing it. Englishmen of the better class when excited are often brusque, and political impertinence, particularly if clever impertinence, usually suggests at once courage and frankness, and earnestness in the matter under discussion. It implies, too, when used by an official, special know ledge, the existence of a quantity of facts with which the speaker is familiar, which are essential to the question, and which his opponent knows nothing whatever about. Lord Palmerston almost always makes this the basis of his impertinence—a weapon he uses with real shill—talks of Mr. Cobden's ig norance of " politics," or refuses to give up his in formants, because if he did "he should soon kno w as little of the matter in hand as the honourable member." The average English mind, too—and the mind of the collective House of Commons is simply the average English mind a little puffed with prosperity—does not easily distinguish between wit and impertinence, has, indeed, invented a word— " chaff," which is peculiar to itself, and which ex pressls the perfect combination of the two. The to quoque always strikes a cabman or the gallery of the Victoria as witty, and so it does the House of Colu mns, wideli receives Mr. thhcree's admiration ef Mr. Layard " in his new capacity as an advocate for common decency" w ith roars of hearty laughter. The victim, too, is very apt, unless a very ready as well as a very strong man, to quail and feel himself beaten, at all events for the time. Most men are cowards when isolated, and the laughter around—laughter at the victim a s well as the joke—inspires a sense of isolation. We re member one almost perfect instance of this confusion. Mr. Darby Griffith, with his usual in quisitiveness, one night asked the Foreign Secretary it it were true, as the newspapers said, that Victor Emmanuel had creased his frontier for an interview with the Emperor. Lord John Russell, Nt ithout tirely under the supervision of the dockyard officials. Her engines have been manufactured by Messrs. John Penn and Sons. They are nominally of 3 horse power, but being on the highepressure prin ciple they can be worked up to ten times that power. The entire machinery occupies a space of 6ft. by 4ft., and the engines are so constructed that the whole machinery can be bodily lifted out of the launch and placed on the deck of the vessel to which she is ate tached. The weight of the whole is 3 tons 17cwt. 2qrs. 201 b. There are four cylinders, each with a diameter of 4in., and a length of stroke of 6in. The connecting rod is 12in. in length, and the diameter 11; the piston rod is Zia. The diameter of the crank axles is ltin„ and the diameter of the screw shaft the same. The ,",screw propeller is 3ift. in length. The fire-grate is 2ft. by 2ft. and the length of eaeh of the boiler tubes, of which there are 19, 3ft. 3in., and their external diameter 21in. The total fire-bar surface is sft. ; surface of flue, 21ft. ; and surface of tubes, 40ft.; the total heating sur face is Gift. The two screws are 4-bladed, and have a diameter of 2ft., the set of the pitch being 3ft. 4in. Each screw is driven by its own indepen dent shafting, which thus enables both to be worked in contrary directions. The quantity of coals on board was 13 cwt. At starting the draught of water, both fore and aft, was 2ft. 6in. From the above figures it will be seen that the engines are probably the smallest ever supplied to one of her Majesty's vessels, nevertheless the results achieved were somewhat astonishing, and appeared to take all the spectators by surprise. At 10 o'clock the screw launch steamed from the dockyard pier, having on board Captain Stewart, C. 8,, superin tendent of the dockyard ; Capt. Colin Campbell, of the Bombay; Captain Stokes, Queen's harbour.. master; Mr. Thornton and Mr. Hutchens, master shipwrights, and others of the officials. The engines were in charge of Mr. Wiggell, from:Messrs. Penn's establishment, who superintended their working. Prior . to the launch undergoing the most impor tant portion of her day's tr;als Captain Stewart directed her to he taken to the most crowded portion of the harbour, in order to test her mat ceav ring capabilities in and out among the vessels, boats, and other craft about the dockyard. At this time there was a pressure of steam of upwards of 601 b, and the screws each making upwards of 200 revolutions per minute. Before she had been out any great distance it soon became evident that the twin-screw principle enabled a vessel to be almost independent of her rudder. Acting upon this Capt. Stewart boldly directed the tiller of the rudder to be removed, and henceforward the vessel was steered solely by her screws. 'With a strong flood tide running, the vessel was manceavred by means of her screws with as much ease as when her rudder was brought into use, and, indeed, the remarkable ease with which she was turned round boats, buoys, and other objects pointed out by Capt. Stewart, as well as the surprising steaming powers of the minia ture craft, elicited the admiration no less than the astonishment of all on board, as well as of the per sons who watched her progress from the dockyard and pier. After fully demonstrating to the officials the steaming and steering capacities of the screw launch she went alongside the dockyard, where some slight alterations were effected in the machinery, after which the miniature vessel's hoed was turned down the harbour, and a ran taken towards the Nore, duricg which numerous experiments were made in steering the launch solely by means of her screws, with the most complete success. The time occupied in the run from Chatham Dockyard to the Camber was two hours, which would give an ave rage speed of rather over six knots per hour. The boat was also tried in making circles, when with the port screw going ahead at fall speed and the starboard screw working astern the circles were made as nearly as possible on a pivot, the average time occupied being 1'247 of a minute with the engines making 310 revolutions per minute. During the run to and from the Nora the engines worked with the utmost freedom and regularity, the boilers giving a pressure of 601 b. of steam, the average number of revolutions of the screws being 320 per minute. Altogether, the trials were deemed a complete success as establishing the superiority of the double screw principle: The Geyser, 6, paddle, Commander Thrupp, ar rived at Spithead yesterday, from Dovonport, with men paid off from the Nile. THE ARMY. The ship Winchester, 1,157 tons, Capt. G. V. Gideon, belonging to Mr. G. Marshall of London, arrived at Spithead on Saturday from Calcutta, after a fine run of 95 days, with the following officers and troops on board :—Capt. Shiffner, 54th Regiment, in military charge; Surg. Sparrow, in medical charge ; Capt. Wilkinson and Lieut. Spencer, 82d Regiment; Lieut. Cargill, Bengal Artillery, and Mrs. Cargill; Lieut. Gwyn, 20th Regiment; En. sign Ware, 91st Regiment, and Mrs. Ware, Lieut. Massin, Bengal artillery. 174 time-expired meta from various regiments, 54 in va lid e d men , 12 i nsane men, 10 military convicts, f our soldiers' wives and children. The whole were disembarked from the ship on Saturday under the superintendence of Colonel Shadwell, Assist-Quartermaster-General, and the timeexpired men were sent on to the depot of their respective regiments, the invalids to the Royal Military Hospital at Netley and the convicts to Millbank prison. Th e Win chester sailed from Spithead for the Thames at 4.30 p.m. on Saturday, with the wind light from south. ward. Two births and two deaths occurred on board since leaving Calcutta. The troops in garrison were on Friday brigaded on Woolwich-common in he av y marching order, and were inspected by Sir Richard Dacres , the Alnjor-General commßiading, in preparation for a general inspection, to ba held, according to preent ordere, to-tnnrow by the Field-Marshal command log in chief. 1) at ing the marching past of the Royal llori.o Avtilit'ry in b a tteries, ono of tho horses be longing; to the A brigade, G battery, ridden by Chits.
